044-05250 Rev A 1-1Chapter 1Product DescriptionIntroductionThis manual contains information and procedures for installation, operation, and maintenance of the AR Standard Repeater. Scope of ManualThis manual is intended for use by service technicians familiar with similar types of equipment. It contains service information required for the equipment described and is current as of the printing date. Changes which occur after the printing date may be incorporated by a complete manual revision or alternatively as additions. The manual is organized into chapters as follows.SafetyIt is necessary that any personnel involved in installation, operation or service of units included in a Powerwave repeater system understand and follow the below points.• Powerwave repeaters are designed to receive and amplify signals from one or more base stations and retransmit the signals to one or more mobile stations. And, also to act the other way round, that is to receive signals from one or more mobile stations, amplify and retransmit the signals to the base stations. Powerwave repeater systems must be used exclusively for this purpose and nothing else.• Units supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and in conformity with the local prescriptions.• Power supply units supplied from the mains contain dangerous voltage that can cause electric shock. Disconnect the mains prior to any work in such a unit. Local regulations are to be followed when servicing such units. Authorized service personnel only are allowed to service units while the mains is connected.• The repeater cover must be secured in opened position, for instance by tying it up, at outdoor repeater work. Otherwise, the cover can be closed by the wind and cause your fingers getting pinched or your head being hit.• When working on a repeater on high ground, for instance on a mast or pole, be careful not to drop parts or the entire repeater. Falling parts can cause serious personal injury.• All RF transmitting units, including repeaters, will generate radio signals and thereby give rise to electromagnetic fields that may be hazardous to the health of any person who is extensively exposed close to an antenna.• Beryllium oxide (BeO) may be contained in power devices, for instance in dummy loads in directional couplers (DCC), in combiner units (CMB), and in attenuators on the FON board. Beryllium oxide is poisonous if present as dust or smoke that can be inhaled. Do not file, grind, machine, or treat these parts with acid.• Coaxial cables used in many Powerwave systems have the insulation made of PTFE, polytetrafluoro ethylene, that gives off small amounts of hydrogen fluoride when heated. Hydrogen fluoride is poisonous. Do not use heating tools when stripping off Chapter 1 - Product Description Chapter 2 - Controls, Connections and Indicators Chapter 3 - Installation Chapter 4 - Maintenance Chapter 5 - Specifications

AR Standard Repeater Safety1-2 044-05250 Rev Acoaxial cable insulation. No particular measures are to be taken in case of fire because the emitted concentration of hydrogen fluoride is very low.• A lithium battery is permanently mounted in repeater CU units, and in FON and OCM units. Due to the risk of explosion, this battery must only be removed from the board by an Powerwave authorized service technician.• NiCd batteries are mounted on the FON unit. These batteries contain environmental poisonous substances. If replaced, the old batteries should be taken care of as stated in the local prescriptions.• The FON unit contains a class IIIb laser transmitter that emits 2 – 4mW invisible laser radiation during operation. Avoid direct exposure from unconnected laser transmitter or fiber cord as follows:– Do not power up the FON unit if a fiber cable is not attached to the fiber output UL port, neither if a fiber cable is attached to the port but unattached in the other end.– Never look in the end of a fiber cable. The 1310nm and 1550nm laser light is not visible, so no signal identification can be made anyway. Use always an instrument, such as a power meter to detect signaling.– Never use any kind of magnifying devices that can focus the laser light to an unaided eye.Warning SignsThe following warning signs must be observed and be kept clean and readable. The warning sign to the left is applied on boards and units which contain beryllium oxide parts. The warning sign below is applied at the bottom, inside the cabinet, below the power supply unit.Human Exposure of RF RadiationSafe distances must be kept when working around antennas. The following paragraphs describe the cautions to be aware of during the installation and maintenance of antenna systems and how to calculate safety distances needed for RF radiation at different antenna power and frequencies.Repeater AntennasTo be able to receive and transmit signals, a repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and a service antenna directed towards the coverage area. A fiber optic cable from the base station might, however, be substituted for the donor antenna.Installation and Maintenance of Antenna SystemsInstallation and maintenance of all repeater antenna systems must be performed with respect to the radiation exposure limits for public areas. The antenna radiation level is affected by repeater output power, antenna gain, and transmission devices such as cables, connectors, splitters and feeders. Also have in mind the system minimum coupling loss, typically between 25dB and 35dB, is determined by a standard with the purpose to protect base stations from noise and other performance dropping effects.Radiation ExposureThe World Health Organization (WHO) and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) have determined recommendations for radiation exposure. ICNIRP recommends not to exceed the following radiation power for public exposure:Frequency Radiation power900MHz 4.5W/m²1800MHz 9.0W/m²2100MHz 10.0W/m²BerylliumoxidehazardBERYLLIUM OXIDE(Toxic)used in equipmentsee instruction book

Safety AR Standard Repeater044-05250 Rev A 1-3For antennas larger than 20cm the maximum radiation power can be calculated by using the following formula:where S = Radiation power in W/m²P = Output power in Wr = Distance between antenna and human in meterTo tackle the worst case successfully, the calculation does not consider system power reducing actions, such as power control and DTX. Figure 1-1 shows the safety distance to an antenna due to the RF radiation. The distance depends on antenna output power and frequency, which is illustrated with the two graphs. One graph applies to 4.5W/m2 (900MHz) and the other to 9.0W/m2 (1800MHz) or 10.0W/m2 (2100MHz). The safety distance range is 0 to 1.4 meters which covers an antenna power range of 10dBm to 50dBm (0.01W to 100W).Radiation Safety DistancesThis section illustrates the safety distances to the antennas for some typical repeater configurations.Outdoor GSM 900MHzThe safety distance can be read to 0.75 meter in Figure 1-1 as the maximum radiation power is 4.5W/m2 for 900MHz.Indoor GSM 900MHzThe safety distance can be read to 0.035 meter for 4.5W/m2 (900MHz).Outdoor UMTS Standard High PowerThe safety distance can be read to 0.9 meter for 10W/m2 (2100MHz).Repeater output power +33dBmFeeder loss –5dBAntenna gain +17dBiEquivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) +45dBmRepeater output power +22dBmFeeder loss –5dBAntenna gain +1dBiEIRP +18dBmRepeater output power +38dBmFeeder loss –5dBAntenna gain +17dBiEIRP +50dBmSP4πr2××--------------------=

Parts on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) as well as other parts in the equipment are sensitive to ESD. Never touch the PCBA or uninsulated conductor surfaces unless absolutely necessary.If you must handle the PCBAs or uninsulated conductor surfaces, use ESD protective equipment or first touch the chassis with your hand. Never let your clothes touch PCBAs or uninsulated conductor surfaces and always store PCBAs in ESD-safe bags.Figure 1-1 Safety distance to active antenna.Repeater output power +24dBmFeeder loss –5dBAntenna gain +3dBiEIRP +22dBm101520253035400 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.045501.1 1.2 1.3 1.40.010.030.10.31.03.210.031.61004.5W/m2 (900MHz) 9W/m2 (1800MHz) 10W/m2 (2100MHz)Antenna output power in dBmAntenna output power in WSafety distance to antenna in meter

Overview AR Standard Repeater044-05250 Rev A 1-5OverviewFigure 1-2 Powerwave AR Standard RepeaterPowerwave AR repeaters work as bi-directional on-frequency amplifiers used to fill out uncovered areas in wireless mobile systems such as base station fringe areas, tunnels, business, convention centers, airports and industrial buildings.A repeater receives, amplifies and transmits signals to/from a base station to/from mobile stations with both directions being served simultaneously. To be able to receive and transmit signals in both directions, a repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to be covered. These antennas are connected to the repeater with N type or 7/16" male connectors. The repeaters can also be connected via RF cables or fiber optic cables instead of donor or service antennas.Powerwave repeaters are microprocessor controlled with alarm and operational status LEDs visible on the front cover. Cooling is provided through convection heat dissipation. To prevent instability due to poor antenna isolation, a built-in antenna isolation supervision feature reduces the gain level automatically when poor antenna isolation is detected.Operational parameters, such as gain, channel number and power levels are set using a PC running Powerwave OM-Online software which can communicate with the repeaters either locally or remotely via modem. Remote operation can be performed via PSTN or a GSM net. The Operation and Maintenance System (OMS) provides for Network Operations Center (NOC) configuration and alarm montioring.AR repeaters can be configured in many combinations, depending on the wireless system, single or double system operation, RF or optical transmission, and output power. The most common types of the AR repeaters are described in the following sections. Since all of the repeater models can be configured differently, the descriptions are applicable only to a small portion of the most commonly configured repeaters.In this document, the channel selective 900, 1800, and 1900 systems are called GSM, DCS and PCS respectively even though these systems may have different names in other parts of the world.Repeaters with RF / RF TransmissionAll units depicted on this and the following pages are assumed to have the donor connection to the left and the service connection to the right.Channel Selective (CSel) RepeaterA channel selective GSM repeater is used for channel selective systems such as GSM, DCS, and PCS. It can be equipped with up to four channels in a standard chassis and up to eight in

AR Standard Repeater Overview1-6 044-05250 Rev Aa high cover chassis. This repeater type has the ability to work with GSM (GMSK) and EDGE (8PSK) in GSM and PCS systems. AR17xx, AR27xx, and AR37xx are EDGE compatible.A channel selective CDMA or WCDMA repeater is used for digital code division systems in accordance with IS-95 (CDMA 2000 – 3GPP2) for CDMA and 3GPP / UMTS for WCDMA or J-STD-008 standard, and wideband digital code division systems. It can be equipped with two channels in the cabinet and additional two channels in a high cover. It can be connected with either a donor antenna or RF cable and a service antenna or RF cable.Channel selective High Power CDMA/WCDMA repeaters are the same as the CDMA/WCDMA repeaters but are equipped with a 6dB (typically) Booster Amplifier (BA) in the downlink path. The BA is located in the high cover with its own PSU and reduces the number of channels to two in the cabinet.Band Selective (BSel) RepeaterThe band selective repeater has an adjustable bandwidth and is used for analog or digital systems such as GSM, TACS, ETACS, AMPS, DAMPS, CDMA and WCDMA. This repeater type can be equipped with one band in the cabinet and additional one band in a high cover. It can be connected with either a donor antenna or RF cable and a service antenna or RF cable.Repeaters with RF / Fiber Optic TransmissionBase Station Master Unit (BMU)A BMU is equipped with a Fiber Optic Node (FON) for optical transmission on the service side. It has an RF port for BTS connection and can provide up to four fiber optic ports that can be connected to Fiber Optic Repeaters (FORs) and WRHs by using WDMs and splitters. FORs and WRHs can be fed in parallel with double or single fiber optic cables. Up to eight FORs and WRHs can be fed if the BMU is equipped with a high cover and two FONs. The BMU is also available as a 19" rack mounted unit called an Optical Conversion Module (OCM). Information on the OCM is located in the Fiber Optic Equipment User Manual (044-052530).Repeater Master Unit (RMU)An RMU is a repeater equipped with a FON for optical transmission on the service side. The RMU has an RF port for a donor antenna and provide up to four fiber optic ports that can be connected to FORs and WRHs by using WDMs and splitters. FORs and WRHs can be fed in parallel with double or single fiber optic cables. Up to eight FORs and WRHs can be fed if the BMU is equipped with a high cover and two FONs.Repeater with Fiber Optics / RF TransmissionA FOR is a repeater equipped with a FOU for optical transmission on the donor side. The FOR can connect to either a service antenna or RF cable. The FOR has a fiber optic donor port and an RF port for a service antenna (or RF cable). This unit can be connected to a BMU or RMU.Combined RepeaterSome of the repeater types mentioned above can be combined in the same repeater chassis and be in operation in parallel. This can be used for different systems or different operators. One repeater part is located in the cabinet and an additional repeater part is located in a high cover. A combined repeater can, for example, have two RF ports for donor antennas (or RF cables) and two RF ports for service antennas (or RF cables).Repeater Chassis DesignThe repeater is housed in a cast aluminium waterproof chassis, class NEMA4 / IP65 approved for outdoor use but is also suited for indoor installations. The chassis consists of a cabinet and a cover attached with hinges. The cabinet contains the repeater circuitry. The cover comes as either a low or high version. The high cover can be used as an empty cover or be equipped as a part of the repeater or an independent repeater unit. A repeater with a high cover that is equipped as two independent repeater units (combined repeater) can, for example, be equipped for channel selective operation in the cabinet and band selective operation in the cover.

Sub Unit Overview AR Standard Repeater044-05250 Rev A 1-7Sub Unit OverviewA number of amplifier boards are individually shielded and located under a metal cover inside the repeater. This cover can be opened outward for access. These amplifier PCBAs are of different types depending on the supported system. All of the repeater types are built up with a number of sub units which are described in the following paragraphs.Channel Amplifier PCBA for GSM and EDGE (CHE)The CHE is used for CSel operations. CSel GSM repeaters can handle up to eight channels. For every even number of channels, two CHEs are required, one for the uplink and one for the downlink. Numbered from left to right, positions 1 and 2 are used for two DL CHEs and 3 and 4 for two UL CHEs. Each repeater channel is allocated to a radio channel or switched off. In a GSM system, each repeater channel can handle eight calls (sixteen if half-rate encoding is used).CDMA/WCDMA Segment Amplifier PCBA (CSA)CSel CDMA/WCDMA repeaters can handle two CDMA or WCDMA repeater channels. The CSA provides this capability. For every even number of channels, two CSAs and two PAs are required; one pair of CSA/PAs for the uplink and one pair for the downlink. Each repeater channel is allocated to a radio channel or switched off. Numbered from left to right, position 1 is used for a CSA, position 2 for a DL PA, position 3 for a CSA and position 4 for a UL PA.Band Selective Amplifier PCBA (BSA)The BSA is used for BSel operations. BSel repeaters can handle multi-carriers over a wide band through the use of an adjustable bandwidth. Each repeater band requires two BSAs and two PAs; one pair of BSA/PAs for the downlink and one pair for the uplink. Numbered from left to right, position 1 is used for a DL BSA, position 2 for a DL PA, position 3 for an UL BSA and position 4 for an UL PA.Power Amplifier PCBA (PA)The PA is used to amplify the output signal from a BSA and a CSA. Each PCBA contains one path that can be used for either DL or UL amplification. Two PAs are thus required for one band for the downlink and uplink.Booster Amplifier (BA)CDMA/WCDMA repeaters can be equipped with a BA on the DL path to boost the output gain by 6dB (typically). The BA can operate with a maximum of 2 channels and occupies position 3 in the cabinet and position 7 in a high cover. It also requires an extra heat sink element on the outside of the cabinet or high cover. Some configurations use the existing PSU while others require a second PSU.Distribution PCBA (DIA)The DIA is a distribution PCBA on which all other PCBAs and units are connected to in the cabinet. A shielded metal frame on the DIA provides the mounting location for the CU, ALI and RCIs, if used.Control Unit PCBA (CU)The CU PCBA, illustrated in Figure 1-3, is the core microprocessor controller PCBA in the AR repeater and connects to port P2 on the DIA. It contains a microprocessor, main memory, flash memory for the CU software, EEPROM memory for parameters, memory for the event log and statistics, a REFO reference oscillator, ports for local and remote communication, battery powered real-time clock, and MAC identity circuit. The CU supervises and controls operational parameters such as gain control and channel handling, alarms, event log, password and logon. It is also a control interface for OM-Online and OMS. Software for the CU can be downloaded from OM-Online, either locally or remotely, or from OMS.

AR Standard Repeater Sub Unit Overview1-8 044-05250 Rev ACU PCBAs from part # K103/3 handle R2R communications which means the RIA is not required for R2R network. The CU is located in the lower right part of the shielded DIA frame. LED indicators are described in Chapter 2.Figure 1-3 CU PCBADirectional Coupler (DC)DC units are used as antenna signal directional couplers. They are located on the left and right side in the lower part of the cabinet if a test port (TEST –30 dB) or an antenna port (MS –20 dB) for an internal RF modem is required. Some repeater configurations lack a DC in the DL, UL or both directions.Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)LNAs are used as uplink and downlink low noise branch amplifiers. They are located in the upper part of the cabinet or in equipped high covers. LNA/UL is located to the left and LNA/DL to the right. Some repeater configurations lack LNAs in the DL, UL or both directions.Duplex filter (DPX)DPXs are located on the cover plate over the amplifier boards.Fiber Optic Unit (FOU)The FOU is an add-on unit for the various repeater models. In the simplest form, the FOU is a metal plate on which a FON PCBA, a DPX and fiber optic connectors are assembled. It can also be configured with combiners, splitters and WDMs to obtain a desired combination of several branches with double or single fiber. The FOU is used in the BMU, RMU and FOR and is mounted on top of the cover plate in the upper part of the repeaters.Fiber Optic Node (FON)The FON is a bi-directional electrical/optical signal converter and a node in either a wire network or a fiber network. It has functionality for:• Electrical and optical signal supervision• Internal and external alarm handling• RS232 interface for local PC control via an O&M software (OM-Online)• Remote control via an O&M software (OM-Online or OMS)• Interface for RCU• Interface for WLI, wire network• Interface for FLI, fiber optic network• Battery backup with chargerThe FON can be installed in all Powerwave repeatersWLI DATA POWER BOOT FAULT OPER

RCU types and details are described on page 4-11.Combiner unit (CMB)CMB combiner units are used to combine two different bands. CMB units are located on the cover plate over the amplifier boards.Alarm Interface PCBA (ALI) and Remote Control Interface PCBA (RCI)The ALI handles alarms and alarm communication. It is replace with an RCI if an RCU is used and provides an interface between the CU and an RCU for remote communication via modem. The RCI also handles alarms and alarm communication. Either unit is located in the lower left part of the shielded DIA frame.Repeater-to-Repeater Interface Adapter (RIA)The RIA is required for R2R networking if a previous CU PCBA (K103/2), is used. This PCBA is located in the upper left part of the shielded DIA frame. R2R functionality is included starting in the CU PCBA part # K103/3.Sub Unit LocationsThe following sections describe the sub unit locations of the different models of AR Repeater and distribution units.CSel GSM RepeaterA cabinet for a CSel GSM repeater can be equipped with four CHEs, two for the downlink (DL) with two internal channels each and two for the uplink (UL) with two internal channels each.

This is further described in the OM-Online User Manual and the Advanced Repeater OMS User Manual.The alarm input voltage ratings, related to ground (AIC), are: Vinmax= 5.5V, Vinmin= –0.5V The four alarm inputs are connected to the following pins:Pin 14 AI1 External alarm input 1 - EAL1Pin 15 AI2 External alarm input 2 - EAL2Pin 7 AI3 External alarm input 3 - EAL3Pin 8 AI4 External alarm input 4 - EAL4Pin 6 AIC Ground.See also the P28 door switch port below.Two alarm outputs are 1 pole closing and 1 pole opening relay outputs insu-lated from each other. Maximum ratings, related to ground or any other alarm terminal, are 50V AC / 60V DC. The alarm outputs are defined as follows:Pin 9 and 1 AO1 and AO8 Closed when operating, otherwise open. Pin 10 and 2 AO6 and AO7 Open when operating, otherwise closed. Pin 11 and 3 AO2 and AO5 Closed at alarm state, otherwise open. Pin 12 and 4 AO3 and AO4 Open at alarm state, otherwise closed.P28 Door switch port - Normally, alarm input AI4 is used for repeater door opening alarm EAL4 which is arranged using an optional door switch. Signal AI4 and AIC are thus available also in the P28 connector, to which the door switch is connected. It is located on the DIA to the left in the cabinet. The EAL4 door switch alarm is activated 10 – 30 seconds after the cover has been opened.P34 WLI Port (8-pin RJ45 female) - Used for the WLI network (R2R). It is located on the DIA to the left in the cabinet.P36 WLI Port (5-pin male) - Used for the WLI network (IP or R2R). It is located on the DIA to the left in the cabinet. Connecting P111 or P112 on a FON to this port, an FLI network is interconnected to a WLI network (IP or R2R) making all the included repeaters in both the networks accessible.

044-05250 Rev A 3-1Chapter 3InstallationIntroductionThis chapter contains unpacking, inspection and installation instructions for installing and powering up the AR Standard Repeater.Site SurveyPowerwave recommends that a site survey be performed prior to equipment ordering or installation. Performing a detailed site survey reduces or eliminates installation and turn-up delays. Pay particular attention to power plant capacity, cooling needs, floor space, and RF/DC cabling/breaker requirements. Cabinet dimensions, clearance dimensions, and weights are listed in Chapter 5.Unpacking and InspectionThis equipment has been operated, tested, and calibrated at the factory. Carefully open containers to remove equipment. Retain all packing material that can be reassembled in the event unit must be returned to the factory. Perform the following steps:• Visually inspect equipment for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If pos-sible, in the presence of the delivery person.• Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or extraneous packing material in connectors.If equipment is damaged, file a claim with the carrier once the extent of any damage is assessed.If equipment must be returned to factory, please contact factory for a Return Material Authorization (RMA). See Chapter 4.Repeater LocationPowerwave repeaters are designed with a weather proof outdoor cabinet that can be mounted without any kind of shelter from rain, snow or hail. The same unit can be installed indoors. A preferable site for the repeater is a location free of obstructions, easily accessible and allows for proper air-flow and ventilation.If a repeater is installed outdoor and can be exposed to direct sunshine, it is essential that air can circulate around the repeater with no obstacle. The operating temperature must not exceed 131°F (55°C). A shelter can be used to shade the repeater from direct sunshine.Never open a repeater when rain, snow, hail, high humidity or high winds are present unless some kind of temporary shelter can be erected. Limitations for very bad weather are found in the next section. MountingThe AR repeater is easy to mount using the provided mounting bracket, illustrated in Figure 3-1, which has 9/16” (14mm) holes for 3/8” (10mm) or 1/2” (12mm) fixing screws. Clamps with C-C measures of 3.5” (90mm), 5.3” (135mm), 5.7” (144mm), 8.1” (205mm), 9.8” (250mm), and 11.8” (300mm) can be used as well. The vertical C-C measure for these are 16.2” (411mm). There is a 9/16” (14mm) single hole in the middle of the mounting bracket, marked ‘A’ in the figure, which is intended for a locking screw to lock the bracket into place.

044-05250 Rev A A-1Appendix ABlock DiagramsIntroductionThis appendix describes the main signals paths for the different AR Standard Repeater models.CSel GSM RepeaterFigure A-1 CSel GSM Repeater Block DiagramFigure A-1 illustrates a block diagram of a CSel repeater with four bi-directional channels. This diagram is applicable to repeaters for the GSM, DCS, and PCS systems.The signal from the base station is received via the repeater donor antenna and then forwarded through a DC, used as an antenna port only if an RF modem is used. The signal passes a DPX, is amplified in a LNA, and enters the CHEs which have two parallel channels each. The first mixer stage on the CHE, which is controlled by a synthesizer, converts the received frequency down to the IF frequency. The signal is then filtered by SAW bandpass filters and amplified before it is fed to the second mixer stage for conversion back to the original frequency.DCBSP31 P33TEST –30 dBCHE1 - DLCHE2 - DLCHE3 - ULCHE4 - ULDPXLNADL CMBDLMS –20 dBDPXALI / RCICUWLIP34/P36P130 P130ANT DPX ANT HILOHILOINOUT2OUT1P101 P701P101 P701ANTP101P101P701P701LNAULINOUT1OUT2CMBULRCUPSU RCIMSC

CSel CDMA/WCDMA Repeater AR Standard RepeaterA-2 044-05250 Rev AThe output signal from the mixer is then amplified in the PA and fed to a combiner which combines the signals from the two channels on the CSA The output signal passes a CMB and DPX before it is fed to the repeater service antenna.CSel CDMA/WCDMA RepeaterFigure A-2 CSel CDMA/WCDMA Repeater Block DiagramFigure A-2 illustrates a block diagram of a CSel CDMA or WCDMA repeater. The signal from the base station is received via the repeater donor antenna and is forwarded through a DC, used as antenna port only if an RF modem is used. The signal passes a DPX, is amplified in a LNA, and enters the CSA which has two parallel channels.The first mixer stage on the CSA, which is controlled by a synthesizer, converts the received frequency down to the IF frequency. The signal is then filtered by SAW bandpass filters and amplified before it is fed to the second mixer stage for conversion back to the original frequency. The following amplifier on the CSA is controlled by the CU. The output gain can be reduced to avoid instability due to poor antenna isolation by means of a gain control in the CU. The gain control also affects other amplification stages. The output signal from the amplifier is fed to a combiner which combines the signals from the two channels on the CSA. The signal from the CSA is amplified on the PA and then fed to a DPX or, in high power CDMA repeaters, to a BA. The amplified output signal passes the DPX before it is fed to the repeater service antenna.In high power CDMA or WCDMA repeaters, a BA boosts the output DL signal from the PA by typically 6dB. The amplified signal is fed to the DPX at the service port. Only the DL path has a BA which is powerwed by a second PSU.DCBSP130P31 P33TEST –30 dBBSA - DLPA - DLLNA - DLMS –20 dB PA - ULBSA - UL LNA - ULDPXDPXALI / RCIWLIP34/P36CUP130ANT DPX ANT HILO ANTHILOIN OUT1 P101 P301P4 P5ININOUT1P301 P101P4P5RCUPSU RCIMSC

AR Standard Repeater BSel Repeater044-05250 Rev A A-3BSel RepeaterFigure A-3 BSel Repeater Blcok DiagramFigure A-3 illustrates a block diagram of a BSel repeater. This diagram is applicable to repeaters for e.g. GSM, TACS, ETACS, AMPS, DAMPS, CDMA and WCDMA systems. The signal from the base station is received via the repeater donor antenna and is then forwarded through a DC, used as antenna port only if an RF modem is used. The signal passes a DPX, is amplified in a LNA, and enters the BSA.The first mixer stage on the BSA, which is controlled by a synthesizer, converts the received frequency down to the IF frequency. The signal is then filtered by SAW bandpass filters and amplified before it is fed to the second mixer stage for conversion back to the original frequency. The BSA has adjustable bandwidth and the SAW filter combination can be software changed from OM-Online (or OMS).The following PA is controlled by the CU. The amplifier gain will be reduced to avoid instability due to poor antenna isolation. A detector on the PA measures the output level continuously. The signal from this detector is used by the automatic gain control (AGC) to supervise and, if necessary, reduce the output power to keep it under a maximum level. The AGC also affects other amplification stages.The output signal from the PA at P5 passes a DPX before it is fed to the repeater service antenna.MS –20dBDCBSP130P31 P33TEST –30 dBPA - DLLNA - DLPA - ULLNA - ULCSA - DLDPXCSA - ULALI / RCIP130DPXBAANT DPX HILOANT ANTHILOIN OUT1 P101 P301P4 P5 P3 P4INOUT1P101P301P4P5MS –20 dBRCURCIPSUMSC WLIP34/P36CU

The BMU has to be located adjacent to the BTS as the base station antenna signal passes through the BMU. Features controlled by the CU, ALI and RCI PCBAs in standard repeaters are controlled here by the FON which has the required functionality and the FLI function built-in.The base station antenna signal is fed through a DC inside the BMU. The signal from the MS -20dB port enters the FOU by passing a DPX. The downlink path (HI) is then fed to the FON which converts the RF signal to an optic signal.
